Making baking

Since we got our oven, we've been looking for baking soda. You know, for baking, and perhaps cleaning. Couldn't find it anywhere. Lots of baking powder, but no baking soda. Guess the Japanese just don't use the stuff. We'd given up on ever finding it and resigned ourselves to a life without the joys of paper maché volcanoes when we stumbled across some Arm & Hammer at Costco. In 12-pound bags! That's a lot. Yet I haven't completely ruled out a purchase...

Something else we can't find here: measuring cups. The kind for dry goods like flour & sugar. The closest we've seen are scoops with graduations marked down the side. Not terribly precise and just not the same. Sigh.

Also, our oven doesn't get hot enough to bake pies.

But if we really want one, we can always buy a 12-pound pie from Costco.
